Need advice - FL heat pump

Hello reddit, virgin poster here.

My home heat pump crapped out on me during this N Florida heat wave. It is a 12 year old heat pump, and I had the evaporator coil replaced 2 years ago. I'm being told the compressor went bad.

Questions: 1) the option of replacing the compressor isn't being offered. Should I be calling around to find someone willing to do this, or is it not worthwhile on a 12 year old unit?

2) Air handler is currently in the attic. I know it isn't ideal, and am having thoughts of relocating it to the garage. I'm wondering, realistically, how much efficiency gain plus extra longevity I can expect from moving an air handler to garage from attic. Thoughts?

Thank you-
